What is the purpose of life? Of our lives both individually and as a community of people united, is it so easily definable? Maybe not, but our personal views and life experiences are contributing factors to our perspective about what is important or not, and the purposes meaningful to us. Along with that is freedom of choice, how is it possible that we could even be allowed to live our lives the way we want to without others sacrifice in protecting our freedoms and rights and our availability of choice!
I have noticed the yellow ribbons of the men and women in our community servinging in the armed forces for us. What drove them to do so? Could it be honor, glory, or another inner driving force? There are many benefits of joining, money for school is an example, or giving purpose to an individual's life where maybe soldier life partakes more meaning to them then what they knew as being a civilian.
I eventually gathered myself the courage and approached the National guard office here in town, on Main Street near the college, after some research to talk to the recruiter about my options. I became an official soldier soon to depart for basic training. My choice through this commitment is one of the greatest things I have taken part in and am looking forward to the events that come along with it.
I encourage you, as members of our community to stop by and talk with the recruiter there about the service, joining and all the options and benefits of becoming a soldier. You will not regret it, even a visit to gather information.
My recruiter was Sargeant Daniel Griffin.
Sincerely, a note from a member of your community,
